Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the lodge to be clean and well-maintained, though a few noted issues with cleanliness such as a dirty oven and garden furniture. The presence of midges was mentioned, but this is a natural aspect of the location.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to local attractions such as Zip World, Bounce Below, and various outdoor activities. Guests love the stunning views and the convenience for exploring North Wales.
The beds and living spaces are frequently described as comfortable and accommodating for large groups. However, some guests mentioned the need for more seating in the living room and issues with bed sizes.
The lodge is well-equipped for large groups, with a spacious kitchen and lounge. However, guests consistently note the need for additional bathrooms and minor maintenance issues like blocked toilets and incorrect tap settings.
Guests have mentioned thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket and arrangements for special occasions. While these gestures are appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
A lovely, spacious, detached property nestling in its own grounds, just one mile from the centre of Blaenau Ffestiniog, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. Located next a two minute walk to ZIP world caverns and at the foot of an extreme downhill mountain bike track, Antur Stiniog, this Welsh cottage provides a fabulous base for getting outdoors and exploring the surrounding area. It features a large farmhouse-style kitchen and dining area with a breakfast bar. There is also a large comfortable sitting room with a woodburner to relax in front of. A door leads through to a games room, with air hockey table, sofa, TV and board games. Upstairs has five spacious bedrooms, two of them benefiting from an additional open mezzanine sleeping area, allowing flexible sleeping arrangements for larger groups. Outside has a terraced garden with a lawn, patio, furniture and a pond. A great spot to relax together after a long day out. There is plenty to do in Blaenau Ffestiniog, from the walking and cycle trails to the Ffestiniog steam railway line, and popular underground slate caverns, all within easy walking distance. For the more adventurous you have right on the door-step Zip World Titan with its amazing zip lines or Bounce Below with its underground trampolines. Within a 15 minute drive are the famous Coed-y-Brenin and Betws-y-Coed. Situated close to so many attractions, this is a lovely cottage for your Snowdonia break with friends and family all year round.
The historic slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is situated in a superb, central position for exploring the Snowdonia National Park, and has a good selection of amenities. The main local attractions include the slate mines - where visitors can take fascinating underground trips to see mining as it was done in days gone by - and the famous narrow gauge Ffestiniog mountain railway which runs for 13 miles through the Snowdonia National Park to the harbour town of Porthmadog. Many glorious local beaches, suitable for children, are within easy driving distance.

As feedback I would suggest having a welcome book with the basics of how things work i.e. heating and the television (that took a while to master).

A large group of us needed a place to stay before and after our charity hike in the area and the lodge was ideal for a group like us. Plenty of room to eat together and chill in the lounge. Bed's where comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. The owner was great with communication, getting back to us with questions quickly and recommending places to eat nearby. Would highly recommend for large familes or groups looking for a place to stay.
